Places
Tarshish in Genesis 10
TAR-shish
This place shows up in Genesis 10:4: “The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 10:4
“The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.”
